A jaw-dropping new photo shows the US Navy firing off a drone-destroying laser weapon — dubbed “Helios” — from one of its ...

To create the high power directly using the laser oscillator ... More information: Moritz Seidel et al, Ultrafast 550-W ...

Methane, like carbon dioxide, is a significant contributor to global warming. A high-power ytterbium thin-disk laser powers an optical parametric oscillator (OPO), which generates steady ...

Disc-laser amplifiers are able to achieve high average powers with high pulse energies and ultra-short pulses. This requires dozens of optical elements such as mirrors, which are used for beam folding ...

"At NIF, we use the high-power laser beam instead of an electron beam to make the X-rays by 'crashing' the beam into silver atoms and creating a plasma." The choice of silver is important ...

According to Sharp, the power consumption of the laser chip has been reduced ... place on a double-track module for high throughput. After UV curing, the disk is positioned directly under a ...
